* Description
This layer adds markdown support to Spacemacs.

** Features:
- markdown files support via [[http://jblevins.org/git/markdown-mode.git/][markdown-mode]]
- Fast Github-flavored live preview via [[https://github.com/blak3mill3r/vmd-mode][vmd-mode]]
- TOC generation via [[https://github.com/ardumont/markdown-toc][markdown-toc]]
- Completion of Emojis using [[https://github.com/dunn/company-emoji][company-emoji]] (still needs a way of showing, either
  using the =emoji= layer or having a proper font) :clap:

** BibTeX
For more extensive support of references with BibTeX files, have a look at the
[[../bibtex][BibTeX layer]].

* Install
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =markdown= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.

To enable Github-flavored live preview, you will need to install the executable
with =npm install -g vmd=.

* Usage
To generate a table of contents type on top of the buffer:
~SPC SPC markdown-toc/generate-toc RET~
